They didn’t entirely miss the mark there. They publicly released the version after that and the world became worse. That certainly fits for some definition of ‘dangerous’, even tho it’s probably not how they were thinking.
And really anthropic is making a very narrow claim:
Mystic is so good at finding bugs that it poses a danger to critical digital infrastructure.
That is not that outlandish a claim. The model is 10-15x more expensive more expensive to run than other flagship models, and if anthropic is being truthful (which is a big if, I’d like to see what they are finding), finding critical vulnerabilities like its nothing.
Makes total sense to stage the rollout privately first so critical infrastructure can be secured before these models are generally available to any attacker.

Ya, they were pretty spot on IMO.

But I fucking hate their stupid marketing.
